The Dongfang family was the same as the Spiritual Martial Hall, an ancient power that had existed for tens of thousands of years.
Their background was so rich that it was naturally not something that a single power could compare to.
The outer courtyard of the Dongfang family was only inhabited by a few collateral relatives of the Dongfang family and some members of the Dongfang family who did not cultivate Tenbin.
Naturally, there was a place that led to the true space of the Dongfang family.
Dongfang Xiong brought Ling Xiao and Luo Meiying through the transmission array to the Dongfang family's true cultivation ground.
Generally speaking, outsiders would not easily be allowed to enter this kind of important place.
However, as the master of the Proud Smiling Palace, Ling Xiao already had the tendency to be on par with the eighteen powers. With Dongfang Zhen leading the way, he naturally would not be stopped.
The area occupied by the Dongfang family's space was surprisingly much wider than that of the Proud Smiling Residence. There were all sorts of ancient buildings, jade eaves, spirit birds flying, spirit grasses everywhere, and the fragrance of spirit flowers …
Many warriors of the Dongfang family were walking around with smiles on their faces. They were dressed in bright colored clothes and were all talking and laughing. The surrounding scenery was decorated in bright red, as if they were preparing for some joyous occasion.
"Three days later will be the day of my little sister's marriage!"
Dongfang Xiong sighed, then said indignantly, "That brat Shangguan Yun is like a woman, how can he be worthy of my little sister?"
After Ling Xiao heard this, he did not reply. He himself did not know how to deal with this matter, so he decided to wait and see first.
At this time, a group of people came up to welcome them. A high level Empyrean middle-aged man saw Dongfang Xiong and said, "Little Xiong, why did you come back instead of patrolling the dock? Could it be that you have forgotten your father's words?"
Dongfang Xiong smiled amiably and said, "Eighth Uncle, I am here to lead the way. This is our Dongfang family's true vassal, Ling Xiao!"
The middle-aged man glanced at Ling Xiao and did not realize who the young man in front of him was. He glared at Dongfang Xiong and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? Three days from now is your sister Jing's wedding, aren't you afraid of being punished to face the wall and reflect on your mistakes?"
Dongfang Xiong laughed heartlessly and said, "Hey, hey, whether or not we can get married is another matter. Could it be that you don't recognize him, Eighth Uncle?"
"Him? Didn't you say he was Ling …" The middle-aged man answered casually. Suddenly, he thought of something and his pupils shrank. He looked at Ling Xiao and exclaimed, "Are you the Headmaster of the Proud Smiling Palace?"
Ling Xiao replied calmly, "That's me!"
The middle-aged man immediately panicked and said, "So it's Palace Master Ling. I'm sorry for not coming out to greet you. Quick … quick, please come in. Little Xiong, hurry up and inform the Patriarch and the Elders. Don't neglect Palace Master Ling!"
Ling Xiao was now the leader of a palace, and the power of the Proud Smiling Palace was comparable to the power of the eighteen forces. It was qualified to be on the same level as the Dongfang family.
As an elder of the Dongfang family, the middle-aged man knew that he couldn't neglect Ling Xiao. Otherwise, it would show that the Dongfang family didn't know how to treat their guests.
The sudden arrival of the Palace Master of the Proud Smiling Palace, Ling Xiao, immediately attracted the attention of the Dongfang family.
Dongfang Xiong also immediately informed his sister, Dongfang Jing.
"He really came?" Dongfang Jing looked at Dongfang Xiong and asked in surprise.
Her beauty was still unparalleled. She wore a feather hairpin on her head and wore light colored silk, which outlined her already mature figure. Her beautiful eyes emitted a light of wisdom.
Not only was Dongfang Jing outstanding in cultivation, her wisdom was also the deepest among the younger generation of the Dongfang family.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have thrown her lifelong happiness onto Ling Xiao after seeing the battle between Ling Xiao and Yuan Zhantian.
This kind of courage was not something that an ordinary young miss of a big family could do.
She made an oath with Ling Xiao and agreed that Ling Xiao would come to the Dongfang family within ten years.
Actually, this was also a test of Ling Xiao's ability.
However, it seemed like there was no need for a test now. Ling Xiao had already completely captured Dongfang Jing, and the key was to see if Ling Xiao really wanted her.
She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
If she didn't come, she would really be forced to marry Shangguan Yun, and she would never be happy in her life.
This was because she didn't have any feelings for that sissy Shangguan Yun, and it could even be said that she disliked him.
Dongfang Xiong nodded his head and confirmed, "That's right, Sister Jing, you have to thank me a lot this time. If it wasn't for me, my brother-in-law would still be planning to pass through the door and not enter. This guy really deserves a beating."
Dongfang Jing was very smart, hearing Dongfang Xiong's words, her face turned ugly, "You … You mean to say that he didn't come to find me?"
Dongfang Xiong knew that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately changed his words: "Haha …" How could that be, it's just that this kid doesn't know the way, and coincidentally met me, so I brought him here! "
Dongfang Jing frowned slightly and muttered, "Could it be that I, Dongfang Jing, really can't make him worry about me?"
Although she hadn't spent a period of time with Ling Xiao, in the past few years, his shadow had already existed in her heart. Unknowingly, Ling Xiao had already become very important in her heart.
"Sister Jing, you can't be …" Are you going to marry that sissy Shangguan Yun because you're angry? Let me tell you, although brother-in-law is a little fickle, a little heartless, and a little dishonest … Actually, on the whole, he's a good man. At least he has half of your big brother's ability. Only he's worthy of you! "
Although Dongfang Xiong was a big guy, his words weren't any more naggy than an old woman's, and his narcissism seemed to be a little thicker than Ling Xiao's.
Dongfang Jing laughed out loud: "Haha, big brother, you're right. Although this guy doesn't have anything, he's a handsome man who can shake the heavens and earth. Only he's worthy of me. I, Dongfang Jing, will definitely make him obediently submit to my pomegranate skirt."
Dongfang Jing quickly adjusted her state of mind and released her usual confidence.
"Haha, that's more like it. That's my good sister. Let's not talk about it anymore. I have to hurry up and inform the other elders." Dongfang Xiong also laughed.
At this time, Dongfang Jing called out to him: "Big brother, help me invite Grandma out!"
"This... Isn't this making things difficult for me, big brother?" Dongfang Xiong revealed an expression of fear and embarrassment.
The grandmother of the Dongfang family was an ancestor level existence. She had supreme authority in the family, and even the supreme elders had to be humble when they saw her. In the past, other than doting on her granddaughter, Dongfang Jing, she was extremely harsh to others.
Dongfang Xiong had been reprimanded quite a bit, and a shadow had fallen over his heart.
"Big brother, I'm begging you. Only when Grandma comes can I go out and see him!" Dongfang Jing begged.
Dongfang Xiong clenched his teeth and said, "Alright, but … After this is done, you must ask brother-in-law to reward me with a few Tier 7 medicinal pellets. It would be best if I could reach the Profound Emperor as soon as possible …"
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Hurry up and go!" Dongfang Jing didn't want to listen to Dongfang Xiong continue and pushed him out.
… ….
Ling Xiao and Luo Meiying were solemnly received by the Dongfang family.
The current Patriarch of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Jun, and several Supreme Elders came out to accompany them. The current Elder could only sit at the end of the table.
This was only a representative of the Dongfang family, and not all of the Dongfang family's trump cards.
"Palace Master Ling has personally come, Dongfang Jun has not welcomed you from afar. I hope Palace Master Ling will forgive me!" Dongfang Jun cupped his hands towards Ling Xiao very politely.
He had the appearance of a middle-aged man, and he was tall and mighty. Just like Dongfang Zhen and Dongfang Xiong, he looked like a deity. He was already a low-stage Mystic Thearch, and although he had retracted his aura, he still gave off an oppressive feeling.
Ling Xiao was also a low-level Profound Emperor, but his foundation was many times stronger than others of the same level. Naturally, he didn't feel uncomfortable facing Dongfang Jun.
"Dongfang Family Patriarch is too polite. Ling Xiao has taken the liberty to disturb you this time. Please don't blame me!" Ling Xiao replied.
"Haha, Palace Master Ling is so young, but you have already shaken the world and established your own sect. I really admire you!" Dongfang Jun said respectfully and then said, "I just don't know why Palace Master Ling has come to our Dongfang family this time.
If you need our Dongfang family's help, we will do our best to help. "
Dongfang Jun was Dongfang Jing's biological father. He naturally knew what happened between his most beloved daughter and Ling Xiao in the Chaotic Abyss of War.
He knew that his daughter was intelligent and had first-rate foresight. At first, he also approved of his daughter taking Ling Xiao as her son-in-law.
However, after knowing that Ling Xiao already had many women, he dispelled the idea.
How could his daughter marry someone else as a concubine? Wouldn't that be a disgrace to the Dongfang family?
Later on, the Martial Spirit Court and the Shangguan family came to propose marriage. Dongfang Jun decided to choose one of the two families as his son-in-law.
Originally, the Martial Spirit Court's Kang Lan was the first choice. However, she died mysteriously, which made them feel pity.
They could only choose Shangguan Yun of the Shangguan family.
To be honest, the men of the Dongfang family were all tall and mighty. They looked very powerful. However, this prospective son-in-law looked like a girl. This made them unhappy. However, Shangguan Yun was indeed outstanding among his peers. Thus, they could only choose him.
Now that the wedding was approaching, the Dongfang family did not send an invitation to the Proud Smiling Palace. They did not want to complicate matters.
However, Ling Xiao's sudden arrival made Dongfang Jun vigilant.
He asked Ling Xiao directly, wanting to know what Ling Xiao's intentions were.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to say something, someone ran in from outside and said to Dongfang Jun, "Master, the son-in-law requests an audience!"
"Uh … Invite him in!"
Dongfang Jun hesitated for a moment before replying. He then looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Palace Master Ling, my daughter's wedding is in three days. Since you're here, why don't you drink a few cups at our Dongfang family before you leave?"
"That's right. Brother Ling is such a famous person. If you can attend my wedding, I will be deeply honored!" A coquettish voice came from outside.
This voice sounded like it came from a coquettish woman, but in reality, he was a man.
A man as beautiful as a woman.
He was the Dongfang family's son-in-law, Shangguan Yun. He was the leader of the Shangguan family's new generation!
